gamrReview: "In these seemingly tumultuous times in our industry where you hear about a game studio shutting down more often than I'd like it's great to see the little guys still chugging along. If I had to pick a favorite from the little guys it'd have to be NIS America. I got a chance to play one of their upcoming games - Mugen Souls - as well as sit down with some of the guys from NIS America to ask some questions about their other titles, the localization of Mugen Souls, and anime localization."
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
EastAsiaSoft brings Mugen Souls to the Nintendo Switch. This turn-based JRPG follows the traditional JRPG model of taking a party out into the wild.
Mugen Souls was a PS3 game created by Compile Heart and published by NIS America that gives strong Disgaea vibes and has been updated and ported to the Switch.
Not my kinda games but it's good to see the little guys doing well.
Wish I'd gotten NISA to say they'd be localizing Atelier, that's the answer I really want.
